2023 Annual Yard Sale

Uniting Neighbors and Cleaning House:
​The Triumphant Village Green Yard Sale

By Michael Schodorf, photos by Zig
Picture
In a world that often feels disconnected, there is something incredibly powerful about our community yard sales.  Such was the case with the 14th Annual Village Green Yard Sale on Saturday, June 17th. This buzz-worthy gathering was a testament to the strength, resilience, and spirit of unity that lies within our Village.
The weather was perfect, and from the early hours of the morning, sellers could be seen frantically setting up to display their array of treasures as shoppers hovered around them. And as the hours passed, neighbors and friends mingled and bonded over shared hopes of purging old wares.

​
On Christmas Eve in 2019, roots of an enormous ficus tree at the southern end of a Court 6 building damaged the underground electrical conduit and caused a dangerous outage that left electrical wires overhead for a year and an uncovered earthen pathway longer than that.

Tree photos and caption by Zig, uproot damage photo by Don Dongallo
​

In early May, a Chinese elm was uprooted in Court 10 with limbs falling onto a resident’s exterior wall. Photo 1 below is a picture of the uproot damage. Photo 2 shows several limbs with cables attached to a neighboring tree to prevent any further damage to the building until the tree can be tactically removed. In Photo 3, all but one of the cables have been removed.

Get to Know your Neighbors, Halloween Edition

10/15/2022

​Michael Myers, Court 3, is sort of a shy guy, keeps to himself; if you see him in the laundry room he’ll probably just issue a grunt in passing. He loves kids, especially teenagers, loves to hear them laugh and scream. In his garage you’ll find a vast collection of sharp objects; during the recent inspection, he was cited for the dark stain found in one corner.

Frida spends her days in her Court 7 flat painting ruminative self-portraits and sipping mezcal out of an orthopedic shoe. On the Dia del Muerto she plans to sing “Moon over Venice” in honor of her sister, Silvia, and light a candle in her memory. Look for her during the Halloween procession; she’ll be the one walking with a limp.

​Returning from Irwindale some years ago, a man (let’s call him “Bob”) experienced an insatiable craving for hot sauce. Before long, he wouldn’t answer to anything but “Sriracha Man.” If you trick or treat his Court 2 home on Halloween, don’t expect any candy; Sriracha Man passes out packets of hot sauce. Suck it, wimps.

​Hulk Hogan’s recent proposal to the Board to convert the clubhouse to a Crunch gym was narrowly defeated; he’s challenged the Board to a tag team cage match in response—details in the December Highlights. He plans to dole out moustache wax and kettle bells to the kids for Halloween this year.
